πŸ”– Design KPIs. We often think that design is subjective, a matter of taste or preference. It doesn't have to be. We should be able to measure how well a particular design solves a particular problem. That's why recently I started setting up Design KPIs for every project. An overview of design KPIs ...
These design KPIs inform, shape and restrict design decisions. They also tend to eliminate personal biases and remove personal preferences out of equation. This is what @gerrymcgovern calls β€œevidence-based design”. We measure and we improve usability, testing over time.
As an example, here's how the KPIs could look like:

– Accuracy of data in forms β‰ˆ 100%
– Time to complete forms < 35s
– Time to relevance in search < 30s
– Frequency of errors < 3 / visit
– Error recovery speed < 7s
